FYI: as mentioned above, it's true as solvent based paints became illegal to sell in CA. However, the vehicle/aircraft paint industry has been moving toward waterborne paints for quite some time now. These non-solvent paints have different characteristics and require a different application technique as well as are a little more sensitive to environmental conditions. That still doesn't explain the OPs problem or Robbies response. Perhaps there's more to this as I'm curious if the "Robinson" contacted is a local/Euro dealer or the head shed in US.
